"The periscope mounted on top of this 21-room boutique hotel in elegant Kolonaki means even the ground-floor bar gets an aerial view of Athens (displayed on a TV screen)." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Just a 5-minute walk from Kolonaki Square, this smart design hotel opened in 2005. All rooms have wooden floors and minimalist furniture in blacks, greys and whites."
Rough Guide
"Designer minimalism on a shopping street in Kolonáki; the name refers to a periscope camera set up on the roof, which guests can control and view the pictures."
Star Service
"As much an outpost for hip Athenians as for travelers, this artistic haute-spot has been transformed from relatively banal boarding house...into a trendy magnate." Full review

DK Eyewitness
"The helpful Nikoloulias family’s pension has an enviable location on a quiet cul-de-sac."
Rough Guide
"The best value in Koukáki, family run and friendly. Simple rooms with and without private bath, with fans and a/c (for extra charge). It’s often full, so call ahead. €45."
